Meetups
From 2014.igem.org
Team meetups offer an opportunity for iGEM teams to bounce ideas off each other, collaborate, and meet other iGEM-ers!
Is your team getting together with other teams nearby?
Are you holding an event to promote your iGEM team?
Let us know about it here.
German team meetup - LMU-Munich
Team LMU-Munich will be organizing a German team meetup from May 24 to May 26 in Munich! From Saturday to Sunday, teams will get to learn about each other's projects, and also network to develop human practice ideas, or possibly even bundle projects together. On Monday, the group is invited to a meeting of the LMU's Center of Advanced Studies about Synthetic Biology with other international speakers, and some teams may even be able to introduce their projects to the audience!
Chinese and Taiwanese team meetup - NCTU Formosa
Team NCTU Formosa is planning a Chinese and Taiwanese team meetup from August 3 to August 7 at NCTU! It will be a warm-up before the Giant Jamboree, and teams will be able to meet each other, and swap ideas. Teams will be introducing their projects to each other with the goal of improving their projects. In addition to project presentations, there will be social events such as talent show or music concert, and they may even journey to Taipei at the end.

Past Meet-ups
UK team meetup
At the inaugural YSB conference, young synthetic biologists from 14 college UK iGEM teams, members of UK iGEM High School and Entrepreneurial teams came together to share their projects and initiate collaborations. This 2 day event featured team presentation, Q & A sessions, poster presentations, and break out sessions focusing on different skills you need in iGEM e.g human practices. There was also a social evening for all the teams to get to know each other.
